EVERYTHING MUST GO!

After two years of running the shop (and 23 years of living abroad), I've made the decision to return home to Canada. It's been a pleasure to serve bike riders in Island Bay for the last couple of years. I've greatly enjoyed being a part of the community but it's time for me to be closer to my family. Thanks for the patronage and support.

All remaining stock is discounted and I'm having a garage sale on tools and shop fittings. Please swing by and see if there is anything you'd like to take home.

Thanks again, Island Bay.

Peace and bike grease,
Jordan

The MTB edit landscape is supersaturated - few stand out and are worth the time. I've already watched this twice.😉
